NATURA FICTIVA (2012)

The work examines the ways in which we are exposed to "wild nature" enclosed in capsules and nature reserves. These capsules are subject to a domineering human gaze and restricted by the limits of knowledge and representations of popular media. ​

The videos are composed of nature films that were manipulated in order to question the representations they exhibit. The images are a hybridization of scientific nature drawings from the 19th century, composing a fabricated animal from multiple different skeletons. The deconstruction I apply to the conventions of knowledge and culture is accompanied by a playful tone which undercuts the severity of these subjects and emphasizes the artificiality of their representations.
